American Shad below the Conowingo Dam

Took a trip to the Susquehanna today. Have driven over the Conowingo damn on the way to the shore many times. Always wanted to try fishing the area, and made the trip today. Maryland you've got a great fishing area. Fisherman's park is on the west bank just a short trip off of Route 1.
There was not any action at first, then I saw six caught between four guys. Action slowed down and most packed up or headed up closer to the dam. It was windy and made the fishing challenging. After three hours I finally got my shad!! Nice big one, then a few cast's later a smaller one.

Shad should be around a few more weeks, so I'm going to have to make another trip or two down to Fisherman's Park.
